Kris Allen's new single leaked!




( My thoughts )

 I have sarvered everything at ontd_ai recently, shit.

In other news, I went to the Inn today, and had the best food ever.  I want to marry the potatoes I ate, and buy a fucking house and have kids with them, dear lord, they are DELICIOUS.

Poll #1444879 Should Meg go to the barricades for the Idol tour on Tuesday?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 4

I don't have tickets, but I could try and meet Chris Allon, etc.

 Here are my crazy Lost theories:

( Spoilers )

 I guess I should get an Idol icon.  I need an IRAHETA one though.  Sorry, Kris.

Dear universe,  if there is any justice in you, you will remove Danny Gokey not only from the Idol stage, but also from yourself entirely, so that way if I do indeed decide to go to the tour, I do not need to boo him and be that person.

Dear universe, additionally, you will put the go in Gokey, because he was safe over Allison, who I loved (in a not creepy way).

Also, if you are on twitter.  #putthegoingokey.  Let's DO THIS.

 Spoilery thoughts and guesses underneath.

( I am a leaf on the-- wait, wrong thing. )

HI! I am still a little hyper from the Chuck finale. But I have a few things to say. (1) You should download this mix, even if you don't like Chuck because I would stand by it regardless of what it's based on. It's all good songs. (2) Hilariously, I made this before the finale, so the song they used in the finale? OK, they thought of it first, but I only intended to rip off their choice of Bon Iver. (3) #SAVECHUCK.

OK, I'm done.

I WILL KEEP THE BAD THINGS FROM YOU:

A Chuck/Sarah Fan Mix

Edit: Lyrics and tracklisting are at the little site I put it up at, viewable (and also downloadable) over here.

I hope you enjoy :)

ETA: Hi, I am dumb and have multiple versions of many Bon Iver songs, and thus put the Daytrotter sessions version of Creature Fear on the mix by accident.  If you would like the studio version, just holler at me and I will post it.  My bad!  (But hey, at least it's a version most people haven't heard before, and it is studio quality, so at least there's that.)  

 I LOVE HOCKEY!

OK, this is the last Chuck post of the day.

Icon preview:
Chuck 2.21 spoilers under the cut.



( say you are the only )



Comments are awesome, plz to be crediting juniperlane, etc. etc. you know the drill. Cheers.

Spoilers for last night's Chuck, so everything (even the header) is under the cut. Not dial-up friendly! (Although I did my best to save them as smaller files without sacrificing too much resolution?)

( Then do what needs to be done. )

 OMFG CHUCK.

I am sorry for the crazy caps on my Chuck-related tweets, but HOLY SHIT TIMES A MILLION.

I mean, I thought I freaked out when Roslin and Adama kissed?  No no, that was little leagues.

Ha, oh, this show.

 AHHH, HOW DO I NOT HAVE POTTER ICONS ANY MORE.

GO WATCH THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE TRAILER RIGHT THIS MINUTE.  IT IS INSANE.

(I will overlook that fact that Remus expositions that Draco is fixing the vanishing cabinet, since that is really the only negative thing I have to say about this movie so far.)

ETA: Well, I at least I have one HP icon again.

 The fact that A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality is now the top result when searching for "homosexuality" at amazon.com is the #1 result is incredibly depressing, regardless is #amazonfail is a glitch, a set-up, or just stupidity on Amazon's part.

To sum up very quickly: Try searching for a GLBT book on Amazon right now, and chances are you will not find it.  Books are being stripped of sales ranks/search results.

In case you are late to the #amazonfail party:

• Mark Probst's book is stripped of it's rank, he complains, and posts the email he receives.  
• The list in progress of books that are missing sales info, etc.  The non-fiction section is the one that's killing me right now.
• A good summary of what the hell is going on at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, including the google bomb strategy for the term "amazon rank."
• Another really good summary (including a small sampling of the books stripped of ranks) at Jezebel.
• A very interesting theory that this could be an epic set-up by trolls, a la Strikethrough.
• The article at Publisher's Weekly with Amazon's claim it's a glitch.  At the mobile site, since traffic has killed the main one.

And if you're wondering why I am referring to the whole thing as #amazonfail, it's because of Twitter.  Hash tags (#) are used to help mark topics, and #amazonfail has been in the top trending topics (if not the top spot) for pretty much most of the day.  I think Neil Gaiman and Wil Wheaton helped make it even more popular when they posted.

I'm just really curious to see what will shake down tomorrow, when it's not Easter/Zombie Jesus Day.  The Amazon crew has got to be bare bones, and totally overwhelmed.  If it does turn out to be a set-up, it's probably the only way they are going to get out of this one - and even then, they will be hurting for a long time.

 JOSS, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD.

Shit, I still need additional Dollhouse icons.

In other news, I started watching Chuck on Tuesday.  I'm now on episode 7 of Season 2.  Uh, someone should have smacked me when I stopped watching 3 episodes in.

I may require additional Dollhouse icons.

So did Echoes (aka tonight's episode) beat Spin the Bottle for anyone?

Who would win in a British-off: DeWitt or Wes?

And uh, IS IT NEXT FRIDAY YET?

(Oh Dollhouse, thank you from distracting me slightly from the fact that it is a Friday night and I am not watching a new episode of Battlestar Galactica - oh crap, I just realized I'm not watching a new episode of Battlestar Galactica and Laura Roslin *sob*)

 Thank you show, for being absolutely perfect.

Thank you RDM & Eick, for bringing these characters and their world into ours.

Thank you Bear, for some of the best music I have ever heard.  (And you truly outdid yourself tonight.)

Thank you to the cast, for making Bill, Laura, Starbuck, Lee, TIGH, and all the others such fascinating and lovely (well, for the most part) people.

Now I need to read every message board ever.

 OK, I have a Dollhouse icon.

So, at least this episode was better than the pilot?

BSG continues to kick my ass, and SERIOUSLY, what will I do with myself when this show ends?

I am sort of tipsy and very tired, so on that note, to bed I go.

(seriously people, get on twitter.  @betternovembers me)

 Yesterday I watched this week's Lost, 30 Rock, The Office, Important Things with Demetri Martin, and then BSG and Dollhouse.

Lost can be summed up by HI SMOKEY, I HAVE MISSED YOU.

BSG and Dollhouse require a few more words:

( Dollhouse: An Exercise in Cautious Optimism )There's a lot less optimism under that cut, but I mean, I'm not going to stop watching...

( BSG: Wins the week in TV )  
So, BSG is pretty much the greatest television show ever, right?

I have been trained out of caring about this holiday, but um, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who do care!  Heh.  Also, the Macy's Day Parade just killed rickrolling, for those of you who might be interested.  Also also, Sci-fi has posted the BSG 4.5 preview at their official website, and my mind, it is blown.

I'm spending my day catching up on TV, finishing the great iTunes organize '08, doing a bunch of band stuff, and I will probably eat McDonald's for dinner.

God, that entry took goddamn FOREVER.
